seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Due to the pandemic and its negative impact on the visitor attraction sector key potential commercials partners have indicated that their interest is no longer viable. HLH, on behalf of The Highland Council, could not have foreseen this requirement at the time of contract award. We require our current contractor to assist in procuring and work alongside a commercial partner to enhance the visitor experience throughout the whole castle project and in tandem with adjacent projects.
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. Due to the pandemic and its negative impact on the visitor attraction sector key potential commercials partners have indicated that their interest is no longer viable. HLH, on behalf of The Highland Council, now requires our current contractor to procure and work alongside a commercial partner to enhance the whole visitor experience within the castle and in tandem with adjacent projects. The additional costs will not exceed 50% of original contract award.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £333,150
Total contract value after the modifications
